Rob MacCachren Wins Again! SCORE San Felipe 250 Results

Rob MacCachren is on a roll, and he doesn’t appear to be slowing down for anything other than checkered flags. MacCachren and teammate Jason Voss earned the overall SCORE Baja 1000 victory last year. MacCachren then got the monkey off of his back to earn his first-ever Mint 400 victory after competing in the race for many years. MacCachren earned another win this past weekend, besting a field of 16 Trophy Truck racers to earn the overall victory at the 31st SCORE San Felipe 250.

MacCachren had his share of issues during the race to overcome, however.

“I clipped a rock about mile 50 and got a flat tire,” he said after the race. “That allowed Apdaly and Cameron Steele to get in front of us. We tried to work away and chop off that gap that they put on us.

After fixing his tire, MacCachren kept pushing and was able to catch Apdaly Lopez, but Steele was going to be a tougher challenge.

“Apdaly was pulled over on the side of the road a little bit later and we got in front of him,” MacCachren said. “Cameron Steele was running really strong and we made up a few minutes on him coming through mile 125 to mile 175. It started to stabilize and I think he got the word that we were coming. He started right behind me so we were going to have to pass him to beat him.

“Coming up on mile 200 there were gnarly sand whoops and we were just hammering down and I started getting in his dust,” he said. “I got really close to him at about 100 feet back and I couldn't see for a moment and went off into a cactus and it ended up coming into the cab. It stuck in me and my co-driver Wayne so we were trying to pull that out of us and let Cameron get ahead a little bit. I told Wayne to tell me not to be a wimp and just go and leave that stuff in there. He said "don't be a wimp" and then we got going. We got out ahead of Cameron right before the Huatuamote wash. We were running hard the last 30 miles to make sure he didn't get us on time.”

Steele ended up finishing outside of the top five in seventh place, however, as it was defending champion Billy Wilson who finished second overall three minutes, 55 seconds behind MacCachren. Apdaly Lopez rounded out the Trophy Truck podium in third.
